So for the first time in my life, my life as a white girl from the suburbs, I have been ethnically profiled.
When we got married, I took my husband's last name. His Hispanic-sounding last name. Tonight, for the second time in a week, we have gotten a telemarketing call on our home phone asking for me in Spanish. Edgar has happened to answer the phone both times and told the people, no, my wife doesn't speak Spanish and what do you need? I understand enough Spanish to get the gist of the conversation from what I can hear him say, but I just find the fact that these people trying to shill long distance phone plans all of a sudden want me in Spanish since I changed my last name.
Since the first name Amanda is so clearly Hispanic.
Loco.
